Data mining and knowledge management models for Small and Medium Enterprise(DM2PMI)

Università degli Studi di Pavia
Abstract
The DM2PMI project intends to develop methodologies and applications software for the acquisition and analysis of data for SMEs. The methodologies used would be scientifically innovative and tailor made to suit, and at the same time, applicable and accessible for Italian SMEs today.
The principal focus of the project is to concentrate on the development of methodologies, software and management issues and analysis of information; in particular in today's, developing, ICT world, where the complex growth and integration of production determines the need of adopting homogeneous organization standards.
The formidable increase of the information society has given rise to more accessibility to data and to information. This has important repercussion on SMEs, and on how SMEs manage their knowledge-related workflow.
A number of datamining and knowledge management applications take on a specific strategic importance for SMEs. Namely:
The Acquisition of Technologies enabling access to data;
The organization and handling of such data
The methodologies for evaluating the financial situation and the financing sources
The methodologies for the measurement and management of financial risks within an international context

Research Goal
The first objective is to define a repertoire of tools to organize data, to be understood and normalised, through the development of data management methodologies. This has the aim to realize a base of knowledge compliant with plan needs and to develop research tools.

The second objective contemplates:
- the design of methodological tools and the realisation of software tools which support planning and management of data collection for knowledge management (composed by selection and structure of information sources and so on), with particular attention to valorize information available in the web.
- the design of methodological tools and the realisation of software tools which support planning and management of SMEs. This includes tools to evaluate the assets of a company and also intangible assets assets, to support allocation processes of financial sources and for relational marketing. Particular attention will be given to risks and opportunities related with internationalisation processeses.
- The development of advanced methodologies to measure market risk, credit risk and operational risk, with the objective to improve knowledge and, in the same time, access to the banking and financial markets. These methodologies will be compliant with the guidelines of The New Base Capital Accord (Basel II).

The third objective is the realization of 4 pilot projects as demo and testing tools. These will be used as test laboratory>>>
